Flashlight™ (Lite) also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 195). screen's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Flashlight™ (Lite) holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashlight™ (Lite) has 2K ratings behind it against 195, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Flashlight™ (Lite)'s written reviews are positive against 48% of screen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flashlight™ (Lite) ships an update every 10 months, screen every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
